Braces vs. Invisalign — Which Is Better?

Neither is universally better. At Bailey-Welling both are priced the same, so the decision is purely clinical.

🦷

Braces May Be the Better Fit When…

P21 Self-Ligating or Iconix Esthetic

  • The case is more complex or requires precise control
  • You're treating a younger child where consistent wear may be a concern
  • Maximum bite correction is the priority
  • You want a treatment schedule that doesn't depend on you
Iconix champagne-colored brackets offer a discreet fixed option for adults.

Invisalign May Be the Better Fit When…

Clear Aligners · Diamond+ Provider

  • You want something discreet at work, in photos, or on Zoom
  • You're an adult or a responsible, motivated teen
  • You need to remove aligners for sports or a musical instrument
  • Flexible, removable treatment fits your lifestyle better
We treat complex cases with Invisalign. Don't assume it's only for minor corrections.

Frequently Asked Questions — Orthodontist in Farmington, Utah

Treatment at Bailey-Welling starts around $2,800 for shorter touch-up cases and increases based on treatment length and complexity. Braces, Invisalign, and Iconix esthetic braces are all priced the same — the choice between them is based on what works best for your teeth. Your free Farmington consultation includes a complete cost breakdown with your insurance benefits already factored in.
Not at Bailey-Welling. Braces, Invisalign, and Iconix esthetic braces are all priced the same. Cost is driven by how long treatment takes and how complex your case is — not which appliance you choose. The decision is purely about what's right for your teeth.
Orthodontists complete two to three additional years of residency training beyond dental school, focused entirely on moving teeth and correcting jaw alignment. While some dentists offer Invisalign, an orthodontist has the specialized training to handle complex cases, bite problems, and growth-related issues that general dentists typically don't treat. Dr. Welling and Dr. Cortez are both fully credentialed orthodontists.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Most kids won't start treatment then, but it lets the orthodontist spot developing problems early — when they're easiest to address. Our 7 & Up Kids Club monitors your child's development at no cost between visits. We'll tell you honestly whether treatment is needed now, soon, or not at all.
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans. At your free Farmington consultation, we'll verify your benefits and apply them to your treatment cost upfront so you know exactly what you're responsible for before you decide anything.
Yes. We offer flexible monthly payment options to make treatment fit your budget. The details get worked out at your consultation based on your specific situation. We also accept major credit cards and have an online payment portal for existing patients.
Absolutely. A significant portion of our Farmington patients are adults — many correcting bite issues, crowding, or alignment they've been living with for years. Modern options like Invisalign and our P21 self-ligating brackets make adult orthodontic treatment more comfortable and discreet than most people expect. It's never too late.
With braces, most patients visit every six to eight weeks for progress checks. Invisalign appointments are similarly spaced. Our P21 self-ligating brackets reduce the need for frequent adjustments — fewer trips to the office overall, which matters when you're driving from Kaysville, Fruit Heights, or Layton.
It depends on your case. Minor cases can finish in 10 to 14 months. Average cases typically take 18 to 24 months. More complex corrections may take longer. At your Farmington consultation, we'll give you a realistic estimate based on what we actually see — not a range designed to sound good.
Yes. You can call or text (801) 451-6664 with questions between appointments. It's one of the things that comes up most often in our Farmington patient reviews. No voicemail, no waiting on hold.
Yes. Our State Street location is an easy drive from Kaysville, Fruit Heights, Centerville, Layton, Syracuse, and Clinton — anywhere along the Davis County I-15 corridor. Most Kaysville families find it faster than driving south to Salt Lake.
Same-day starts if you're ready at your consultation, a Diamond+ Invisalign Provider designation, doctors who personally follow your case from start to finish, and 530+ combined five-star Google reviews. We've been serving Davis County since 1971 — not a corporate chain, not a franchise. An independently owned practice where the doctors actually know their patients.
